One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Feeding Hills who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
